Radiopurity measurements of liquid scintillator for the COSINE-100 Upgrade
J. Kim, C. Ha, S. H. Kim +12
A new 2,400 L liquid scintillator has been produced for the COSINE-100 Upgrade, which is under construction at Yemilab for the next COSINE dark matter experiment phase. The linear-…
Lowering threshold of NaI(Tl) scintillator to 0.7 keV in the COSINE-100 experiment
G. H. Yu, N. Carlin, J. Y. Cho +56
COSINE-100 is a direct dark matter search experiment, with the primary goal of testing the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA/LIBRA, using the same target material, NaI(Tl).…
Upgrade of NaI(Tl) crystal encapsulation for the NEON experiment
J. J. Choi, E. J. Jeon, J. Y. Kim +14
The Neutrino Elastic-scattering Observation with NaI(Tl) experiment (NEON) aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering~(\cenns) in a NaI(Tl) crystal using reactor a…
Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
Waveform Simulation for Scintillation Characteristics of NaI(Tl) Crystal
J. J. Choi, C. Ha, E. J. Jeon +10
The lowering of the energy threshold in the NaI detector is crucial not only for comprehensive validation of DAMA/LIBRA but also for exploring new possibilities in the search for l…
